Summary - New: 3rd Edition

Pupils begin this unit with an introduction to the Scratch programming environment, and by reverse- engineering some existing games. They then progress to planning and developing their own game, learning to incorporate variables, procedures (using the Broadcast function), lists and operators. They should be able to create a fully working game with lives, scoring and some randomisation of objects. Finally they will learn to test and debug their programs.

What people say...

We really love using your digital resources. They have been invaluable during the various times of remote learning we have had over the past couple of years.

Simon Rossiter. Head of Design & Technology, Warminster School

The format and structure of material is logical and clear. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of Exam Tips which offer students important advice for the examination.
